id get an adjustable bench so you can do incline and or decline.

dips are a good idea as well. would also be interested to see their pulley system as it could be worth a look at.

quality and price i dont know about.

I would be inclined not to listen to what the side of a protein container says about serving sizes...

of course they are goin to say "take 3 scoops" 3 times a day. They are trying to sell the crap.

figure out how much protein u need a day, usually 1 gram for every pound of body weight (kg x2.2) then use the protein to fill in the gaps between meals, thats why its a "supplement"

Theres no use having a 100 grams of protein in one hit, it needs to spread out through the day

Good point. As with any information you have to consider the source!

I've found 2 scoops of Torrent is enough for me, not the 3 prescribed, especially as I often take Vitargo during the session, so that'd be way too many carbs when taken together.

god damned OS trips... just got back from Thailand for a friends wedding... 10 days spent drinking and eating nonstop and I feel like garbage... fat garbage... just a note, flopping around in a pool/ocean cannot possibly burn off 8 litres of booze and enough Pad Thai to feed every starving child in Africa...

f**k you Ectos...;)

grass is always greener hey... hate having to eat like a medieval orphan but at the same time like it when people stop what they're doing to watch you lift

goal for this year is to have both... look and feel lean while lifting enough iron to affect the earths gravitational pull... after 6 weeks of good work I've fallen off the tracks... weaksauce... time to put down the beer and open a can of harden the f**k up

because your body digests x amount of protein per hour regardless of how much you give it.

So you prefer to load a ton of protein in one meal, and piss out 80% of it instead?? It's not hard to space your protein out over the course of the day.

Why wouldn't you take a slow release protein source before bed? Your catabolic period overnight must be quite significant closedeyes.gif

...I see no logic here

Yea i have no idea what his argument is

anyone here tried doing slow reps? get the set to last near 70seconds. I have been giving it a go and cannot lift near the same amount of weight.

example is for bench 3seconds down, at at the bottom and 1 second up.

recommend giving it a go for a change.

I find slow reps or negatives are both good if you've got a minor injury or are feeling flat and can't push a heavier weight; you can still get an awesome workout while also changing it up a bit and keep the body guessing.

On the protein argument I've also read that those of us who take a lot of additional protein need to make sure we are getting plenty of calcium intake (i.e. through milk, or other sources, in other words check your protein supplement to make sure there is calcium in there as well). This is because the body uses calcium for protein synthesis. You don't want a calcium deficiency.

I never said I loaded up on protein... no shit it isn't hard to space it out over the day, I just said you didn't have to. You don't piss out protein...

Why wouldn't I take "slow release" protein before bed? I dunno maybe the fact that by the time I goto fkn bed I've already hit my protein macros for the day so there's a shitload that will be released over the night.

Dude I suggest you do some research before posting...

"When a high dietary protein intake is consumed, there is an increase in urea excretion, which suggests that amino acid oxidation is increased.."

It depends on the types of protein you're consuming, unless you've been consuming a lot of slow-release proteins throughout the day, your overnight release won't last nearly as long as consuming something like casein before bed (4-6 hours release).

In response to slow reps, I always lower the weight slowly, and explode on the way up. Muscle fibres tear on the eccentric phase (shortening phase), so for example lowering the weight during a bicep curl is more important than raising it.

While on this topic, has anyone here gotten a friend to push down (encourage the negative phase of the lift) on a bar, etc. while you try to resist? It's like super negatives lol, crazy hypertrophy results

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
